Exegesis
The first hoti-clause, hoti apothaneisthe en tais hamartiais hymon {ὅτι ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν | hó-ti a-po-tha-neî-sthe en taîs ha-mar-tí-ais hymôn}, gives the content of what was said: death remains located within the sphere of sin, with en plus the dative portraying a condition or realm rather than a mere location.
The final repetition, apothaneisthe en tais hamartiais hymon {ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν | a-po-tha-neî-sthe en taîs ha-mar-tí-ais hymôn}, closes the verse with emphatic recurrence, functioning as an inclusio that reinforces the certainty of the outcome. The formal rendering keeps the sentence structure close to the Greek; the dynamic rendering breaks the thought into two English sentences for clarity while preserving the same causal logic and repeated warning.
In context — John 8:24
I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am, you will die in your sins.
